There's this anime (which my avatar and signature are from BTW) called Miss Machiko that aired back in 1981 in Japan. It's about a new elementary school teacher who helps out her students with their everyday problems while regularly getting herself into accidental risque situations. What's funny is that while it was made for children, it's filled with upskirt shots, touching, and occasionally, uncensored breasts. How could you get away with something like this in the early 80's when networks were more uptight about taboo content in TV shows?! With that said, I watched a few episodes last year to see just how far it could go for a kid's show, and even though there were quite a few times were I felt uncomfortable watching it, I have to admit that I actually enjoyed it for the most part. It's pretty cute and fun for what it is, especially during the less fanservicey moments. When the show is "safe" enough, it follows typical kid's cartoon cliches well enough to be entertaining. The music is very abstract , yet catchy. The art style is adorable and the many of the characters are likeable (even if they're not very well written). I realize that it's not the forum's cup of tea, but the show is worth watching for at least 2 or 3 episodes if you're a classic anime fan and don't mind some raunchy moments (again, for a kid's show). There are very few guiltly pleasures that I have since I'm not ashamed to enjoy most of what I like, but with this show, I feel that it qualifies as one. I only get to live once, so I may as well enjoy it, right? Since I can't find a suitable clip to put here, I'm just going to say that the first 45 episodes are on Crunchyroll. It's free (though you need to pay for HD) and official, so don't worry if you think it's illegal.

I have, on a DVD that cost a dollar, a dubbed copy of Panda and The White Serpent, which was said to be Japan's first full-length animated feature. I would love to see it subbed, but I'm not sure I can find any version.

Laura The Prairie Girl- A Japanese cartoon based on Little House On The Prairie. I kind of want to see this dubbed into English.

I'd like to see it dubbed into Japanese!

The style would seem heavily influenced by Miyazaki....if not for the air date of the 1970s! Miyazaki was in turn influenced by The Snow Queen (upthread), with its plucky heroine risking all for a beloved friend.

A series I enjoyed as a kid. I liked that they weren't the most competent heroes but they tried their best. BTW, a few years ago there was a comic book of The Mighty Heroes which gave their origin and introduced a new member.

Based on a play by V. Slatkin. An unemployed American gets a job in a shooting gallery as a live target; the greedy capitalist owner charges patrons double for the chance to shoot at a human being. Tarasov, a fan of J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye,” modeled the film’s hero on Holden Caulfield. An artist as well as an animation director, Tarasov combed through back issues of “America,” a magazine published by the U.S. government during the Cold War, and American comic books, to lovingly create the film’s fabulous New York City back drop. The attention to detail is amazing (and sometimes off base), from the graffiti on the buildings to the brand name on the back of the hero’s tennis shoes."

Escuela De Asesinos (Spanish for "School of Murderers") was a Cold War-era (circa 1970) animated film that depicted the tragedy that unfolds when a young Communist revolutionary trained in Cuba returns to his home country in Latin America.​

First thing I thought of when I saw this thread today was Richard Condie's "The Big Snit". Lucky I looked, because...I already had! Okay, here's another one you're not likely to see on 1960's afternoon local kids' shows (although a 1999 award-darling):
